BusyBox is extremely configurable. This allows you to include only the
components you need, thereby reducing binary size. Run 'make config' or 'make
menuconfig' to select the functionality that you wish to enable. The run
menuconfig' to select the functionality that you wish to enable. Then run
'make' to compile BusyBox using your configuration.
After the compile has finished, you should use 'make install' to install
BusyBox. This will install the '/bin/busybox' binary, and will also create
symlinks pointing to the '/bin/busybox' binary for each utility that you
compile into BusyBox. By default, 'make install' will place these symlinks
into the './_install' directory, unless you have defined 'PREFIX', thereby
specifying some alternative location (i.e., 'make PREFIX=/tmp/foo install').
If you wish to install using hardlinks, rather than the default of using
symlinks, you can use 'make PREFIX=/tmp/foo install-hardlinks' instead.
BusyBox. This will install the 'bin/busybox' binary, in the target directory
specified by PREFIX. PREFIX can be set when configuring BusyBox, or you can
specify an alternative location at install time (i.e., with a command line
like 'make PREFIX=/tmp/foo install'). If you enabled any applet installation
scheme (either as symlinks or hardlinks), these will also be installed in
the location pointed to by PREFIX.
